Cassandra action figure

So disturbing, in so many ways.

Cake and the Internet

A True Story: Walmart Cake.  The cake is, of course, hilarious.  Funnier, however, are the comments on the post, which prove once and for all that people on the Internet are stupid.

Abandoned embassies

Once Grand, Now Bedraggled.  Story on countries who have abandoned their embassies in Washington D.C., for a variety of bizarre reasons.  One building used to be the embassy for Yugoslavia; when the country was dissolved in 1991 it was supposed to be turned over to Bosnia.  But the deeds were never transferred, and now no-one can find the key.

Traumatic workplace experiences

Fox News worker sues over bedbugs.  Apparently getting bitten three times over a 6 month period by bedbugs is enough to cause Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.  I am intrigued by her lawyer, Alan Schnurman (“the Larry King of Law“), “who said he has brought numerous bedbug cases.”

Questions raised: (1) Is bedbug infestation a major problem in American workplaces?, and (2) do people really sue over this crap?

Thanks, Arthur
